Made this last summer just for fun. My kids and husband really enjoyed it but I’m a perfectionist and think it should’ve set a bit more. The flavor was on point though! 🤤
It’s like learning all over again. My cakes kept falling and it took forever for me to find some recipes that work but here’s a few of my first attempts!
Is it possible to use in cakes, cookies, brownies or frosting?
Recipe is white chocolate raspberry cake on sugar geeks website except I made my own whipped ganache for the frosting on the outside :)
it’s the survivor 50 finale tonight, and i happened to have a half day at work, so i thought it would be fun to make a cake for my friends since we’ve been watching the whole season together. i’m honestly pretty proud of how it turned out, handwriting aside lol. it’s a chantilly cake with a mixed berry compote and a bit of cocoa powder added to the icing (to make it match the survivor vibe). plus trader joe’s cocoa batons around the front to add to the survivor vibes (and to try and cover the messy icing job lol)
First time making a carrot cake with pecans and cream cheese frosting. It came out really good. I do enjoy baking so much.
None of my family understands this so I'm hoping for some guidance- I love sugary frosting! I don't care if it's grainy at all! Kinda like cream cheese frosting???
I've ordered cakes and tasted cakes in the past that are fancier but I really didn't like the frosting because it was like crisco slathered on the cake. I don't mean to be mean, I don't say anything about it, I just really don't want that. but idk how to verbalize it nicely because l am not a cake expert at all. What kind of frosting (other than cream cheese) should I ask/look for?
Please help! you guys are my only hope. everyone so far has told me all icing/frosting has sugar and therefore, is sugary- but they don't get it!
New to baking and had been ordering her birthday cake till 3 months, but this time I planned to make it myself. I have never done frosting on cakes before, so this was new for me and, honestly, a bit chaotic. It started out as a total mess and I tried to fix it as much as I could. In the end, this is what it ended up as. My daughter is 4 months old today, so she’s not going to eat it.
Note – This ended up wayyyy more expensive than if I had ordered it, and the additional labor on top of that. But all of it is worth it.
I know it’s not a birthday per se, but just wanted to have fun as it’s just me and baby alone at home and I wanted to mark this milestone. Please be kind.
For some reason this time my pancakes didn't raise at all, they stayed flat. Is it a cooking time issue or was there something else I'm missing?
Tastes amazing and 100% worth the effort of peeling and grating three cups of carrots… so proud of myself ngl
It was a brand new bag of yeast too. Is there anything I can do to save this?
Or is it a whole bunch of eggs and kerrygold butter wasted? Edit; the recipe in question https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/brioche-recipe
Yesterday's batch ➡️ second batch ➡️ first batch
I've learned that I prefer:
- Somewhere in between perfectly round cookies, and very scraggly edges
- Chopped up chocolate instead of chocolate chips - I love the marbled look and the better chocolate distribution!
I've also been working on refining the recipe and reducing crumbliness. Yesterday's batch is by far the best yet, in both appearance and taste.

I'm a home cook, and I had a growing pile of recipe links scattered across bookmarks, screenshots, and YouTube tabs. It was super unorganized, and I got kinda fed up.
So I made yourrecipevault.com (https://yourrecipevault.com/). You paste a link from a blog post or YouTube video, and it pulls out a clean recipe with ingredients and step-by-step instructions, saved to your vault. There's also a grocery list feature where you select the recipes you want to cook, and it generates a combined shopping list you can copy and paste.
I just published it, so I'd love to know what works, what's broken, and what's missing.
